LOL If you guys have been reading some news sites lately you'de know if you get that message you're infected with a worm! ....

What I meant to say is that the option to set driver signing to 'ignore' in windows itself doesn't even work...

Right now I put the XviD silent install at the end of my batch-file. First the pcshutdown code and then teh xvid code...this way I can run my batch file all the way to the end and still restart without a problem, the pop-up doesn't interfere with restart. I have ac3filter, divx and xvid installed that way....just need to put in the lame mp3 codec... TheRaven

The registry tweak maybe valid though... However in my driver signing options driver signing is set to ignore, still it gives an alert when a driver is installed that has not passed windows logo testing... weird...

XviD is another MPEG-4 codec, just like DivX...however it uses another form of coding/decoding. You need this codec in order view XviD-encoded content.... TheRaven

Cool! I use Nic's Binary... This is the link: http://www.divx-digest.com/software/xvid.html Thx a lot... I'm also looking for an answer at an NSIS discussion forum at this very moment! EDIT: Funny thing is when I install XVID using my batch-file, with the PSkill command right after the xvid install...it doesn't kill the pop-up...since pskill couldn't find the process. When I use the pskill command in another batch-file (just for testing purposes)...it does find the xvid-process and kills the pop-up. Weird... Maybe I should try running another batch-file from my main batch-file in order to kill the process. Gonna try that tonight.

I can silently install this app with the /s switch, however when install finishes a pop-up comes op (XVID codec has been installed on your system). I have to click 'OK' for the batch-file to continue. Is there a way to kill this pop-up, since PSkill doesn't do the job for me... TheRaven

You can put the winnt.sif file on a floppy...together with you batch-files. However I'm not sure about winnt.bat if you have to point to a:\winnt.sif Is this bat-file really necessary anyway?

You can make a bootable DVD just the same way as u make a bootable cd... I use nero burning rom and the only thing different to specify is that you want to burn a DVD(bootable). Just use the XPbootimage and sectorcount 4 and no emulation of course... TheRaven

Cool...I'll make sure to try that! I know there exists a tool that lets you make a custom install file...but can't find it anywhere on symantec's site. Is that your site ( http://www.MSFN.org/unattended/xp/index.htm) AaronXP? Quite a resource I must say!!!!

Beware... Norton Systemworks 2003 used with the /QB or /QN switch will restart the system after install is complete. Its a silent install though...but the switch doesn't avoid a restart. Have been searching the e-net for a solution but I think you need some sort of resource kit like the office resource kit... BTW...I'm kinda new here (as a poster that is) TheRaven Question: does someone know the silent install switch for Irfanview? Have mailed the author about this, but no reply yet...
